Food allergies

Here's my update: I recently found out that I have minor allergies to the following foods: wheat, eggs, and peanuts. The diagnosis comes after not feeling well for about a month. I went to see my doctor and she suggested some blood tests.  I have adopted a gluten-free diet now, which is a big lifestyle change, as well as being an avid label reader! It's amazing how many products have forms of wheat in them, and then if they don't- they have eggs! This means no more bread, pasta, baked goods, etc! I have tried some gluten-free baked goods- NOT GOOD! The hunt is on for some good stuff! But the reality is I am feeling better and this is not the end of the world!

Getting to know you. . .

Here's the challenge- although many miles separate us, let us still know the big and the little things going on in each other's lives. Last week we lost our cousin, Alison. What an awesome life she led. Although only with us for 28 years, she touched so many lives, and accomplished so many things.  Her death made me realize how much I didn't know about her- sad that I learned so much following her death.

I don't want this to happen again. I want us to tell each other things, so that we know one another, know each little quirk, know the milestones. Let's keep one another updated. Love you, Sciarrino family!
